My Mute Bride

My Mute Bride Chapter 27

Rachel was badly hurt by Justin’s grip, yet she could only let out a hideous wail. Even the driver, who sneaked a couple of peeks, was pained by the view.

“What about the item Jefferey gave you?” His freezing voice echoed in the car. Justin was certain that Jefferey had handed her something, but they were interrupted by Amber just then.

Rachel started tearing up as she continuously shook her head in an aggravated manner.

When her devastated look reached Justin’s eyes, he subconsciously loosened his grip.

It had been so long since that particular exchange; even if he did give her something, she must’ve concealed it by now. There was no way she would show it to him.

“It’s best if you remember that living with the Burtons means you’re one of us. You’d better not waver your loyalty… or else.”

After seeing her curl up in the corner of the seat with a face as pale as snow, he immediately let go of her.

He was aware of Rachel’s position in her family. Although he wasn’t sure back then, he had certainly confirmed his suspicions after having visited the Hudson Residence earlier.

If it weren’t for the leverage her father had against her, she wouldn’t have been so obedient toward him.

After being reminded of the matter with the hospital, Justin had already come up with a plan.

Meanwhile, Rachel, who was staring at him in terror, grabbed her aching neck with one hand as she pushed herself against the car door. It was not until she was sure that he had unhanded her that she finally dared to take a breath.

As a result, the strangling incident moments ago had left a scar in her heart-it was indeed a challenge for her to remain by Justin’s side.

After dropping her off at the Burton Residence, Justin went straight to Burton Group.

Frankie, who was Justin’s assistant, poured a glass of tea and entered the latter’s office.

“I’ve talked to the hospital, Mr. Burton. Miss Amber can go for her internship first thing tomorrow.”

“Have you informed Julian already?” Without lifting his head, Justin took a sip of the tea before turning a page of his book.

“Not yet. Doctor Peters is absent today, but the Dean will inform him soon.”
